Possibly one of the best British - let alone Best TV mini series ever - FINALLY available to buy on DVD .

I have waited years to see it again , the TV version is as near to the original novel as you can get in a 4 hour series . The box set with extra features including interviews with the stars etc is available in the UK on region 2 format DVD - what are you waiting for - it's 18 years since it's seen the light of day ! The casting is superb and it's nice to see the BBC all those years ago spending a few "bob" to recreate the "tower house" on the white cliffs - i hope it's still there after all these years - the cliffs keep disappearing at about a foot a year .

Finally - the best ever TV mini series is available to buy on DVD as a box set - i could'nt wait to get it . I could'nt understand why it was not available - found it as a box set on Amazon.co.uk (it is on region 2 - so you will need a multi region DVD player if you are outside of region 2 ). A very young Nick Nolte and Peter Stauss - with fantastic performances from both of them , launching their careers . I will be spending a lot of time re-watching the DVD - does'nt seem like 28 years since audiences around the world were captivated by the strong acting and storyline - yet there were only 12 episodes , seemed like so much more.

I can still remember a very young Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss in this series - who would have thought at the time this series would have catapulted them both onto Hollywood careers . Definitely the the first and the best TV mini series -

it had me glued to the TV set each week - so as not to miss an episode . I think Falconetti with that eye patch , he must have been one of the best bad guys to hit the small screen in a long time - i wonder where he is now. Great to see it is AVAILABLE to BUY in the UK on DVD .

I have ordered my copy from Amazon UK as soon as i saw it was available
